Story
¿Hasta dónde puede llegar la literatura? En este libro dedicado a la vida y la muerte de su hijo Daniel, Piedad Bonnett alcanza con las palabras los lugares más extremos de la existencia. La naturalidad y la extrañeza conviven en sus páginas igual que en su mirada conviven la sequedad de la inteligencia y el latido más intenso de la emoción. Buscar respuestas es sólo un modo de hacerse preguntas, de negociar con las preguntas, de saber cuántas preguntas caben en una obsesión.

Cuando Eufrasia Vela empieza a trabajar como cuidadora de ancianos, no sospecha que su oficio la llevará a una encrucijada existencial. La íntima relación que mantiene con doña Carmen, el doctor Harrison y Los Siete Magníficos—entrañables personajes que se apoderan de su pensamiento y su cariño—la obliga a replantearse su papel de madre y hermana, las vicisitudes de la longevidad, las formas de la compasión y el sorpresivo valor que los cuyes, esos conejillos de Indias tan peculiares, adquieren en su presupuesto moral.

Claudia Piñeiro capta con genialidad los tonos de las voces de la sociedad argentina. Y entre ellas la de un ama de casa dispuesta a todo con tal de conservar su matrimonio y las buenas apariencias. Un corazón dibujado con rouge, cruzado por un "te quiero" y firmado "Tuya" le revela a Inés que su marido la engaña. Lo que sigue a continuación no sólo es un policial vertiginoso y atrapante, sino un retrato implacable de la vida familiar de la clase media.

Una historia desgarradora pero importante

Publisher's summary
A pesar de que en treinta años de vida no lo conoció, Trinidad Ríos necesita encontrar a su padre. Tiene miedo de ser rechazada, aunque el miedo no le es inusual: toda su vida, desde la madrugada que quedó huérfana en la salvaje jungla de Madre de Dios, en la selva sur del Perú, hasta que tuvo que escapar a la ciudad de Lima, ha tenido que luchar contra tratantes de mujeres, mineros ilegales, trabas machistas y una sociedad extremadamente racista.
Se podría decir que hasta ahora ha sobrevivido con éxito, pero una enfermedad producida por contaminación de mercurio la obliga a buscar a la única persona en el mundo que puede salvarla a través de un trasplante. ¿La aceptará su padre, un cantante bipolar que se gana la vida imitando a los Bee Gees y que ignora que ella existe?
Escrita con vértigo, entre el drama urbano y el humor compasivo, Madrugada narra la feroz tragicomedia de unos personajes forzados a convivir entre los mecanismos de una sociedad plena de contrastes, prejuicios y rencores. Mientras la música suena en sus páginas, también resuena la locura de un músico, la de su familia delirante y la voluntad de una heroína dispuesta a vencer a la muerte.

“The Heron” is the nickname a big-city accountant has attached to himself in his new home near San Diego, where he’s using the alias to avoid a hit man who may be after him. It seems a former client believes that The Heron has skipped town with several million dollars not his own. Don Winslow’s ensuing, entertaining yarn is by turns twisty, dark, and comical as we observe the delicate dance between the pursuer and the pursued.

What would happen if a shy introvert lived like a gregarious extrovert for one year? If she knowingly and willingly put herself in perilous social situations that she’d normally avoid at all costs? Writer Jessica Pan intends to find out. With the help of various extrovert mentors, Jessica sets up a series of personal challenges (talk to strangers, perform stand-up comedy, host a dinner party, travel alone, make friends on the road, and much, much worse) to explore whether living like an extrovert can teach her lessons that might improve the quality of her life.

Myrna, Leonie, and Chrissy meet every Thursday to sample fine cheeses, to reminisce about their former lives as professors, and lately, to muse about murder. Decades ago, a vicious cabal of male poets contrived—quite publicly and successfully—to undermine the writing career, confidence, and health of their dear friend Fern. Now, after Fern has taken a turn for the worse, her three old friends decide that it’s finally time to strike back—in secret, of course, since Fern is far too gentle to approve of a vendetta.
